Maddie wants to do whatever Ben is doing, pretty much all the time.

Ben is beginning to read board books to himself by memory or by labeling the pictures out loud.
His current favorite book for us to read to him is a pop-up book called Corduroy Goes to the Beach. He asks for it several times a day.

That’s a night lite shining behind her head, not a halo.

Up until last week, Maddie was more interested in eating books than reading them. But recently she’s getting very good at turning the pages as you read to her.
All signs of good reading ahead.
